Hi Year 1,

We hope you are all ok and enjoying learning from home. Remember your teachers are still here to help you each day and will be setting up lots of activities for you to do at home each week.

Each Monday we will upload a weekly overview detailing what activities we would like you to do that week. We love reading your comments so please keep in touch through our discussions and by commenting on the homework pieces.

We need you all to keep fit and healthy so each day we will be putting on some activities to have fun. Below and in the files section you will find links to apps and websites that will support the children's learning at home. Twinkl is also offering a free Parent hub with lots of ideas and activities. Watch this space for more links!
